The word "perform" originates from the Old French parfournir, meaning "to accomplish, complete," which itself derives from Latin performare (per- "thoroughly" + formare "to shape, create"). The morpheme per- intensifies the action, while form relates to giving structure or completion. Over time, the term evolved to emphasize both the execution of tasks and artistic presentations, reflecting its dual modern meanings.
